As ever, WSJ links require a subscription but you can roll in through google: https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=YouTube...

After reading from the other sources (this one is a really crappy summary)...

How is this surprising? Video is extremely easy to consume, expensive to deliver, store, and process... and, and! the majority of their content lacks any substantial value.

The original article does not talk about ad blockers causing YouTube to lose out on revenue. Looks like the GTN article is making this up!

Shouldn't the title be "YouTube Isn't Making Enough Money to Turn Profit"?
